Stir Crazy

Movie (1980)


New Yorkers, Skip Donahue and Harry Monroe, have no jobs and no prospects. They decide to flee the city and find work elsewhere, and land jobs as woodpeckers to promote the opening of a bank. When their feathery costumes are stolen and used in a bank robbery, they no longer have to worry about employment -- they're sent to prison!

  • Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder improvised many of their scenes together.
  • Arizona State Prison officials used the money given to rent out their facilities to construct a rodeo arena of their own.
  • As an MIT graduate, Erland van Lidth was apparently allowed to wear the famous "brass rat" graduation ring during filming. You can see it most clearly in his scene in the metal shop when he bends the metal bar.
